Experience conflict – and even judgments – as welcome paths to deeper connection.

Respond to challenging situations with satisfying integrity.

Live your life in greater harmony with your deepest values.

Open yourself to the unprecedented power of Compassionate Communication – a transformative training for breakthrough, interpersonal connection and peacebuilding in daily life.

Most of us hold many precious values that we aspire to live up to.

Compassionate Communication opens the door to living our values more fully in any situation with practical, learnable and doable skills for transforming any moment into an unlimited resource of compassion and heartfelt connection.

As you integrate the skills of Compassionate Communication, you’ll naturally begin to:
• Return to self-connection and presence during intense encounters
• Listen deeply and respond compassionately, regardless of how others express themselves
• Instantly recognize criticism and judgment as requests for help
• Support colleagues, family and friends in discovering true healing, practical solutions and
new possibilities – working together to meet more needs, more peacefully
• Express yourself authentically with greater clarity and confidence, as well as care and respect for others

Based on the work of Marshall B. Rosenberg, Ph.D.

You can use what you learn this weekend to create win/win situations in any area of life:

Participate, expand, connect with the community and help create a world where everybody's needs are considered and where life can be more wonderful.

The Discovery Weekend is a great opportunity to learn and share NVC with people who are important to you. It is a highly effective way to transform relationships with your friends, family, and enemies, and bring more compassion, harmony and fun into your life

The main focus of the retreat will be on direct experiencing primarily through dyad work, but also through individual and group processes, including body-work and integration time in the nature. The facilitators will be there not to teach, but to offer guidance and support.

Intensity and dedication
This retreat will be held as a sacred time for our deepest Self. By 'intensive retreat' we mean that:

we will be working from around 7.00 in the morning to around 22.00 in the evening;
we ask you to refrain from using the internet - including e-mail - and telephones, unless absolutely urgent, for the duration of the entire retreat;
we will be inviting you to, during breaks and free time, keep your intention and focus on conscious inquiry into the deepest authenticity (rather than engaging in casual socializing).

Join us for an interactive workshop to learn three tools for building compassionate, productive relationships. We will explore our power for making a difference, what blocks connection and creativity, how empathy transforms those blocks.

This six week series will support you in integrating your learning of the components and applications of Compassionate Nonviolent Communication via tele-conference. Information, demonstration, practice and sharing will be utilized to support your learning. Handouts and worksheets will also be used, and at home practice between sessions encouraged.

In this workshop, you’ll experience how the powerful combination of Yoga and NonViolent Communication (NVC) can help you communicate consciously, compassionately and intentionally. What does speaking truthfully and compassionately sound like? How can we disagree with someone and stay in connection with ourselves and the other person? Through yoga practices, NVC skill-building discussions and quiet sitting time, you’ll learn how to act more in alignment with your self, so you can move in alignment with others – both on and off the mat.

In many workshops we focus on either our physical bodies and ‘mat’ practice, or our inner emotions. This is a rare opportunity for participants to observe and experience the connection between these two layers as we work with NVC both on and off the yoga mat.

It's also a very effective way to introduce NVC to friends or family members who are interested. The evening is free and takes place in New York City.

At the heart of NVC is a deep and compassionate awareness that much of our world is brutal, unjust and dysfunctional. Asking one another, “How then shall we live?” becomes imperative as our awareness rises. It is a question that resonates at a political, spiritual and a systemic level. NVC allows people to peacefully influence the organisations, communities and social systems that impact their lives.

This weekend will also include an opportunity to explore the spiritual basis of NVC as understood by Rosenberg, myself and practitioners of nonviolence from around the globe. A longing for a different world for us to share, or an awareness that our current structures are not working, is often an access point to NVC. You’re welcome to attend this weekend whether or not you have completed the Foundation Training, and whatever your spiritual outlook or faith background.

Come and explore how this process can enable you to be the change you want to see and to work in solidarity and respect with those who long for change - and with those who fear or resist it.
